New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Nope, she's not.

I know. She dug out the slow cooker cook book to prove it to me...

[SuziQ]

Mmmm. I had Swiss-Bacon-Mushroom Onion burgers, Atkins style. Course it didn't help that I had potato chips to go along with it. ;o)

She IS a GRITS, you know. ;o)

[ecurbh]

I'm still not sure my wife believes me on that.

[g'nad]

LSA made the Seinfeld's Soup Nazi's Indian Mulligatwany Soup

Lembas ain't Krispy Kreme. One lembas is enough for a whole day, while Kripsy Kreme's main claim is that you can't stop eating them.

Had dinner with a friend. Hot wings and a salad. Mmm! LF, God bless Dr. Atkins indeed! I'm thinking by the end of the week my pre-Christmas clothes should be wearable again.

[SuziQ]

while Kripsy Kreme's main claim is that you can't stop eating them.

Yeah? So they STILL last all day, just a little at a time! LOL!

[Corin Stormhands]

I just ordered me a set of them headphones. I cain't take listenin' to Nana's TV preachers much longer...

[SuziQ]

I'm thinking by the end of the week my pre-Christmas clothes should be wearable again.

Good for you! I had planned to get back to SB again, but developed a bad cold last week, and have been 'feeding' it. ;o) Do have to get back to it though. I can still wear my pre-Christmas clothes, but they're just a wee tad snug.

Jimmy Lee Farnsworth: Erwin, admit that you are a sinner.
Fletch: Uh. Well, I've sinned. I didn't take any Polaroids or anything. But, yeah, I've sinned.
Jimmy Lee Farnsworth: The Lord forgives ya!
Fletch: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Amen. What? Other sins? Uh, I parked in a handicap spot on my way up here. Actually, on a handicap person. I told him I'd be back in five minutes, so that's not such a big deal.

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, she's gone to bed now. But I'd had about all I could take of Jack and Rexella...

[JenB]

I technically could still wear those clothes but I hate tight clothing. It makes me feel so uncomfortable.

Sigh. And where did my weekend go?

[ecurbh]

Yikes. Any relation to these folks?

[Corin Stormhands]

Cut from the same polyester cloth...so to speak.

g'nite

Hi Suzi! Sorry to have bailed on you last night...I was exhausted

yesterday we paid a visit to Taste of Texas - omigawd...Im gonna have a hard time re-adjusting to 'ordinary' food...was it EVER delicious!!

[SuziQ]

Where was "Taste of Texas", and what kinds of good vittles did they serve?

[Alkhin]

Taste of Texas is in Houston and is owned by Edd Hendi who is also a host on the local conservative radio KSEV. Right now he is in Iraq visiting with the troops to give an upclose view of what is going on (unlike what the MSM is presenting us)...he's a really neat talkshow person. Taste of Texas is a steakhouse he also owns and runs. THE best food I have ever tasted. Only thing is the tab is pretty costly...a simple meal of a steak, salad bar and drink can run 20.00-40.00. I had a 6 oxz filet mignon and hubby had a ribeye. He had to take half of the ribeye home, it was so big.

can you tell I want to go again?! LOL

[Alkhin]

I killed the thread!!!

[SuziQ]

mmmm...steakhouse!

I wondered what it was because over in Worcester last year they had a "Taste of Shrewsbury Street" event. Shrewsbury Street is the old 'Italian area' of town, and there are a lot of restaurants along the street. At this event, you could go to each participating restaurant and get a little bit of some of their specialities. I won two 'buttons', the entry ticket for it, in a local radio contest. I was so excited when I told SSQ, then he reminded me he was going to be out of town that day!

I asked a homeschool mom friend of mine if she wanted to go, and she and I had a great time! Unfortunately, she's a vegan, so she didn't have too many choices because if something was considered vegetarian, it still had cheese in it! The best stop was the last one. It was an Indian Restaurant, and instead of having a couple of steam tables set up, the owner had folks order anything from the menu and you got a small portion of it. I ordered something she liked so she could have BOTH portions. I felt bad for her, that she had not been able to sample too many things along the way, but she said she really enjoyed it because she got to have some sushi and Indian food; odd things to find in a mostly Italian area!
